Walkee Paws is a dog-loving, woman-owned small business dedicated to making sure your dog always looks snazzy while feeling snug.
Promising review: "They have a great fit around the legs. I like the adjustable fit in both the length and around the legs. The materials are lightweight and the patterns are fun. The soles of the feet are good quality and will protect my fur kids' feet pads from the burning sidewalk during the summer. I will recommend them to everyone" —Cinnamon G

Promising review: "My 8-year-old shepherd is allergic to everything! He was diagnosed with discoid lupus on nose, which caused dry, crusty scabs inside his nose. I tried many options, natural and chemical to no avail. I saw this product and bought it. Within two weeks, his scabs, crust and dryness were going away! After a month, the pigment on his nose was even returning to its normal black color! This product is amazing! His allergies are improving! Buy this product, you won't be disappointed! My big boy is so much happier now! Thank you so much Zesty Paws for such a great product!" —Shepherd Mom 2

Promising review: "It took my cat a few days to warm up to the hammock, but she is now obsessed with it! It is so well made and sturdy; I have no worries about her jumping straight on or off it. Plus, you can easily unhook the wires and put the blinds down at night, which means I can hang it from my bedroom window without having to worry about people seeing in at night. I can't recommend this hammock enough!" —Elle L

Promising review: "I ordered these to help my pup stay cool during the summer months. I wet them and stuck them in the fridge for a couple hours before putting one on my dog. They stay cool for a couple hours. I would rotate them throughout the day, putting one on my pup while the others cooled, and it turned out to be super helpful to help her keep cool in a house with no AC. I ended up using them on my neck too." —Xw

Promising review: "I love this pool for my lil' pug. She gets overheated easily and loves getting in the water! The spout is great for emptying out the water. Overall the pool is great; it's well-made, sturdy, and is able to withstand my dog's claws. Another plus is that your dog can't slip and slide like they do in the plastic pool. It was very easy for my pug to jump in and out of the pool. I love the fact that you can fold it back up and store it in the carrying case it came in. A pool you can bring out to use year after year. Well worth the money." —Donna

Promising review: "It took about two months, but my dog FINALLY GOT IT. It was like something finally clicked with her. Now she looooves hitting the doorbell when it's time to come in the house. I'm now able to let her outside so she can take her time sniffing around the yard, and then she hits the doorbell when she wants back in the house. I love this!! And guests to the house find it hilarious when they see my dog ringing the doorbell. It works like a charm. My dog loves it too; she stands at the door wagging her tail and hitting the doorbell until I open it for her." —Michelle Vallerie

Promising review: "I have used this on three dogs I’ve had. Living in the Northeast, I deal with snow, salt, ice, and blistering pavement in the summers, and this product is an absolute miracle. I purchased three more containers today for my dog to give out as Christmas presents to her friends. It is that good.
In the summer when the temperature is 80 and above, I put it on her paws and she can walk on asphalt without issue. In the winter, I put it on her paws two to three times a week and she can withstand the bitter cold and salty walks. FYI - If your dog is slipping around inside, you have put too much on! You need to work this into the pad, between the toes, and wipe off any excess with a paper towel." —Kat

Promising review: "I bought this cat tent, because our two fur babies will sit in the window and cry if we are outside. I tried a leash, but they didn't like that, and they often escaped it. I came across this tent, and it was the BEST purchase i made. The quality is great! Both cats fit in it, so the size is perfect. Very excited that this is actually a product for the cats!!!" —hgrizz

Promising review: "Got this for my 24-lb dog, as he usually lies on the concrete patio when we’re all outside, with the sun blazing down on him. Got it set up and didn’t even have to coax him onto it. He loves it! He’s so comfortable, and definitely cooler with that canopy over him. It’s also held up well through the heat, rain, and some surprising strong windstorms. Definitely recommend." —Prairie Dove

Promising review: "I love this thing. I was definitely skeptical but it is sort of miraculous how the water stays in the bowl. (It is even a little tricky to dump the water on purpose because of the design.) I needed a bowl so my pup could have water at all times during a cross country road trip. It doesn't slide around, and didn't spill. He has even stepped on it and it barely splashed. Perfect. Totally recommend." —Siena

Promising review: "Love these raincoats. Ordered three altogether. They are tough, cute, and keep my dogs dry. I have purchased other flimsy raincoats that did not keep my dogs dry. I am extremely pleased with these. The little hoods are cute too. The purpose of the raincoats are so that I only have to dry off their feet when they return from their walk. These sturdy little coats are great. My furry kids seem to like them, and they stay in place without slipping and sliding. Fantastic price for great product. Awesome! :-)" —Barbara N.

Promising review: "We have an enormous, 9-month old German Shepherd puppy, incredibly active, very smart, who loves to play in water. Outside, he'll head for the nearest faucet and beg you to turn on the water. It took him about two minutes to figure out how to use it, and after that he was in heaven. When he'd pretty much soaked the entire patio, we unscrewed the unit, went back into the house with a soggy pup, and listened to him mourn his lost toy for the next 15 minutes. When he's outside now, you'll find him at his fountain, soaking wet." —CMorgan

Promising review: "Love this product. The aerosol canister allows quick application at all angles (i.e. armpits, groin). Aerosol also goes on light and even, quickly drying. Is the largest bottle of sunscreen available so need to order less. Top has locking lid to keep little kids out. When it says 'meets the FDA guidelines,' it means for ingredient stability and safety. Proven to stay good for a year with normal storage. Waterproof and 'lick-safe' once dry. This dries almost instantly. It isn't greasy, though you will notice a slight difference in coat texture—kind of feels like a very fine dusting of talc powder—but hands come away clean. Smells nice (vanilla). Blocks both UVA and UVB rays, and contains five different sunscreen ingredients (as found in human sunscreens), in addition to skin conditioners. Rates equivalent to 30–40 SPF (you only get to say 'equivalent' because the SPF scale was developed using human skin). Brand respected and carried by veterinary dermatologists. Introduce the new sound and smell of this product with treats and praise, and your dog will love it as much as mine does!" —1project2many

Promising review: "Love this fountain! Got it for my five cats to help keep the water bowl clean. They love it! They're all drinking way more water than they used to. My cats all have their own drinking styles so it's nice that the fountain has several options for them. It is very quiet and very easy to clean. Will be buying another soon!" —Michelle

Promising review: "We're already hitting triple digits in Arizona, and I wish I'd found this wonderful splash pad years ago. Both of our dogs lost their minds with happiness when I set this up. They had a fantastic playtime with both the fountain effect and just tromping around inside the pool. Great way for them to cool off and get some exercise when it's just too hot for their normal trail runs. Reasonably priced with easy setup right out of the box, and it held up very well against their rough play. Seems very durable and looking forward to an entire summer of cool playtime in the desert heat! Highly recommend if your dogs love water, and this would be fun for small children as well!" —Kayce
